A recent thread on this actually quotes the mag as saying they are appointed over all the Kings belongings when they are resurrected to heavenly life.
UNcanny Hamstersenses
has anybody noticed in many recent watchtowers that christ is now said to have "turned his attention to the earth in 1914.".
unlike the 60's they do not say christ "came" in 1914. the "proclaimers book " p137 says the bible students came to discern that "christ did not return, (even invisibly), in 1914.".
the way is now paved.

This was a spoof when I wrote it - but in recent months things seem to be going exactly this way.
the bible students taught that christs return in 1914, would be preceded by an invisible presence from 1874.. when these prophecies failed, judge rutherford revised the teachings, and said that christs return in 1914 was also invisible, and that the world had ended (invisibly!!
) in 1914. hence "the world has ended - millions now living will never die" talk.. even when we were studying in 1969, we were taught that christ had already come.. in 1993 the district a$$embly talks gave new interpretations of mark 13, luke 21, and matt 24, and said that many of the features we had been told applied from 1914 were actually still in the future.
this meant that he could not have come in 1914.. christ did not sit down on his glorious throne in 1914. hence noolite on the sheep and goats parable.. people "faint out of fear" was not at the threat of nuclear annihilation, but terror at the "celestial phenomena" (glorified fireworks, actually) let off by jehoobie to terrorize those who had not bought the witchtower.. now we see it in black and white:.

i have a question about the implications of the new light regarding the f&ds.
sorry if it sounds complicated, i'm not good at explaining things.. .
if the f&ds is now just the few brothers who get together to dispense the food at the proper time, and the f&ds will be appointed over all of christ's belongings, then does that mean they will be appointed above the rest of the 144,000 when they go to heaven?
This new teaching is to replace the idea that Christ inspected them in 1919 and appointed them over all his eartholy belongings.
The 1919 inspection depended on 1914 being true. Now the inspection and appointment is future they have paved the way to ditch 1914.
Then they can sweep the embarrassing 607 issue away. (Those two articles were just temporary damage control)

Well that's another potentially enlightening thread hijacked by petty bickering.
I was going to comment and suggest sources, but it will be lost in all the flying fur and feathers...

the wall street journal reports that india has again made a decision to buy 42 russian sukhoi su-30 mk1 fighter jets that will be assembled in india.
additionally india will buy 71 m--17 v-5 helicopters.
another deal was signed for russia to manufacture the ka and mi brand of helicopters in india .
Yet every year the UK gives£200 000 000 in aid, (Idont know what the US or other countries give)
And still these "charities" are asking for yet more of our increasingly less money to help the starving in India. A country with more BILLIONAIRES than the US.
THEY DONT NEED OUR MONEY. Let the government starve their subjects. Then maybe they will wake up and get an administration that cares for EVERYBODY in the land not just the rich.
Why doesnt India invest in its OWN industry to design AND build the damn planes and give work to its people? Would outsourcing in this case really be cheaper in the long term?

Has anybody had a reading that foretold something which actually happened?
